Man Up: Start Fixing The Trouble That Girls Cause.


Man Up: Start Fixing The Trouble That Girls Cause.






This one is for all those singles guys out there who are having trouble with dating.
If you ask girls on dates and get rejected and don't understand why, or you don't ask girls out on dates because you're afraid of rejection or the "Static Cling Factor," don't worry. You're not alone. Which is why singles wards keep getting bigger, marriages keep getting rarer, and pressure keeps on going up.


I know it's hard guys. I really do sympathize. That's why I'm sharing the following blurbs of advice in effort to slow down the dreaded 'hanging out' epidemic and/or the rise in 'NCMO'(Non-Committal Make Outs.)



Why are you getting rejected? 

Could be any number of reasons, but most likely it's because you're either asking the wrong girl or you're asking the wrong questions. Or you smell.

 1) You're asking the wrong girl.


Guys, we get it: she's pretty! But there is a big difference between attraction and chemistry. Being attracted to a girl is important. Having chemistry with a girl is vital! The difference?

Chemistry is a two way connection between you and the girl. Attraction isn't.

No, you shouldn't resign yourself to obese girls with warts and uni-brows. You should, however, stop and think about the girls you're asking out. And the ones you're passing up. Because girls are all about the subtle hints, you have at pay attention.


Watch a girl as she talks to you. Does she blush ever so slightly when you smile at her? How does she hold herself? Does she hang on every word? Does she touch you, especially on the arm? Does she laugh at your jokes? Does she get your jokes?


I agree it's the girls job to let you know if she's interested and some girls suck at it. But you have to put in some effort to try and catch the hints. Otherwise you end up with all the annoying pushy girls because they are, as we say,  'No Effort Required' girls.  So try and find someone that fits you, not just someone who fits your schedule of laziness.


2) You're asking the wrong questions



Friend-zoned again huh? If you start off as friends then asking her on a real date becomes a big ordeal and you're both worried about "Changing the relationship" and "What if you lose your precious friendship"... If you had just started out with the right questions, she would have already been thinking about you in 'that way,' and the drama could have been avoided.

Carefully chosen words can make up all the difference for example:

Instead of  saying, "Wanna hang out sometime?" Say, "Will you go out on a date with me this Friday night?"


Instead of  saying, "Should we do something later?" Say, "There's a movie I want see showing at 6:30pm. Want to be my date?"


Instead of  saying, "Would it be cool if I got your number?" Say, "What's your number?"


Instead of  saying, "Are you going to the party on Friday?" Say, "Want to be my date to the party on Friday?"


Instead of  saying, "Maybe we could do something sometime?" Say, "Want to go on a date with me on Saturday?"


Instead of saying, "A group of us are playing games, wanna come?" Say, "My friends are having a game night. Want to be my date?"


See where I'm going with this?


Ask for what you want. And don't apologize for it. Don't ask for her permission to ask her out, just ask her out.


Always use the word 'date' so she's not confused about your intentions.


Be specific with times and dates so she knows how to plan.


And remember: girls are like buses if you miss this one, there will be another one along in 15 min. Never get discouraged.


Why bother asking girls out at all?


Most guys who refuse to ask, give one of 2 reasons: they don't want to be rejected or they are afraid of, what I like to call, the "Static Cling Factor," It's the instant clutching some girls take to you after one date. No matter how many times you try to shake her off, she just keeps clinging to your shirt.


If you are scared of rejection then MAN UP, and some get confidence in yourself.


How can you expect a girl to like you if YOU don't even like you?

Start by changing the way you talk TO yourself.
 If you talked to your friends the way you talk to yourself,  how many friends would you have?
 If you were as hard on them as you are on yourself, how long would they hang around?
Every time you notice something bad about yourself, instead of harping on it think, would I tell a friend this about themselves? What's it helping?
You have flaws. You have strengths. Congratulations! You're human.  Appraise them for what they are and enjoy bettering yourself. Perfection is not required for dating or even marriage. Mind blowing, I know!

And here's a secret that shouldn't have been kept secret: take a shower.

Seriously. Hygiene is more important to a girl than ANYTHING.
Wear clean clothes. Shower. Brush your teeth. Shower. Floss. Shower. Wash your hair, in the shower.  Make sure you smell good! Use deodorant or cologne if necessary. *Sigh* Clean boy smell... Anyways, shower.

There are only 3 guys in the world who can pull off the grunge look and still be sexy.You are NOT one of them. Take a shower.


The other thing that keeps guys from dating is the "Static Cling Factor."


Love isn't a requirement for a first date. Yes, I know girls are the worst at understanding this concept, but you guys aren't off the hook.


Man up!Start getting to know someone by dating them.


Why are we trying to get to know each other before we date, instead of going on dates to get to know each other? When did we become such cowards? Why is it so scary to want to get to know someone with all the cards already on the table?

You'll already know their interested in you romantically, and all you need to figure out is if the two of you work well together.

If it doesn't work out, that's when you work the let's-be-friends angle. Not before.

Think Texas hold 'em instead of 5 card stud.

The 'Romantic interest card' is face up along with the 'Curiosity card' and the 'Hope card.' That's your flop, work with it.

If she reads too much into it, that's her problem. Be honest with her. Don't apologize for not feeling more than you do. She'll get over it. The more guys do this, the less often "Static Cling" will happen.


Be part of the solution, not the problem.


Repeat after me: dating is FUN, not final.


And if you're still afraid to ask her out, here is an easy two step program that is guaranteed to get you off your couch:


Step one: Grow a pair.

Step two: ASK HER OUT.

Have fun dating, boys.

There are only three words the rest are all actions

From an old assignment I found this question;

If you were to find your one true love What would you say to them? How would you tell them you loved them?

My new answer is this
 There are only three words, the rest are all actions,



I would tell them 'I love you' everyday.
I would cook for them so they'd neverfeel hunger,
I would hold their hand so they always had support,
I would tell them everything so they never have to wonder,
I would kiss them so they know they are beautiful to me,
I would forgive them so they won't be afraid to say I'm sorry,
I would wear their favorite color so they know I listen to them,
I would laugh with them so they know how fun they are,
I would cry with them so they know I understand,
I would smile at them so they can see how they make me feel,
I would take pictures with them so they can always remember they're loved,
I would clean our house so they'd always live in comfort,
I would fall asleep in their arms so they'd know I trusted them,
I would fight with them so they would know I'm not hiding anything,
I would go to the temple monthly so they would know I want to be with them forever.

Why am I still here?

So I have a new job it is, so far, very nice and easy.
I go to my old ward (church congregation) People have been nice to me and the world is back where it should be...
I am where I should be. I just wish I knew the reason why I should be here and not somewhere else? Have you ever had the feeling something amazing is about to happen? Like it's just around the corner and you just know it's going to be the best thing ever?
I feel that way. But I am caught between excitement and anxiety. What if I'm just making it up in my mind and I'm supposed to be this whole other person?
Keeping the faith is harder than you think...Why am I always in the middle?
 A man can't walk in the middle of the road he must choose go to the right or to the left if he walks in the middle he gets hit!
 I feel like I am a grass is greener on the other side kind of girl... But as I run from the left side of the road to the right side, I fear that I can only dodge traffic for so long.
I mean really, if your grass is good than who cares whether the other side's grass is hot pink,neon, or turkey flavored?
My grass is good. And getting better everyday. So the restlessness is just going to have be patient. There are lust fields here on my side. And I have no need to run. To or from anything.

Thanks for reading my little rant it feels good to be writing again; Helps clear my head.
What helps you clear your head?

Back to Reality

So I'm sorry I couldn't post anymore pictures of Ukraine but the website won't let me post any more. But I'm home now. I'm so happy to be home now.
I have my old job back and while it's hard work keeping up with everything I'm really happy I have a good work environment.
I miss Ukraine and the friends I made there.
I'm so glad that I get to spend time with my niece and nephew. I love them so much and it's so nice to be around my Sister and my brother and their families. I still miss my dad and brother Heath. as they're off in Alaska.
I don't like that they are far away, now that I'm here.
I miss them a lot.
Everything is right on track with my life...we'll see how long it will last.

Time to go home

I've had such an amazing experience. Living in Ukraine has been the worst/best time of my life. I wonder how much I have changed.
Have I grown?
